Same. I was a regular on those forums. Good times.

In hindsight though, really hosed up times. Goddamn did they say some weird poo poo to any woman poster who came to the site. Yikes.

I'd say it's not, but it's been made some 15 years before Green Lantern so you can't really compare them like that.

Also, what was Ebert smoking when he wrote that review? It's like his one positive point about the movie is that it has great special effects.

If you're saying it's on par with that mask, that's way more of a slam on Green Lantern than it is on Spawn considering the latter was made a decade and a half earlier.

It's not great, obviously, but it's not that bad either. Especially considering the effects in the rest of that film.

I always liked the look of Spawn. Never read the comics, but for some reason I bought all those drat action figures. I think they're forever stuck in boxes.

Us 3 probably would have been good friends as kids. I always bought 2 of every Spawn figure so I could keep one in the box and have one open. All the figures I opened have since been passed down to my cousins and/or donated. All my boxed McFarlane figures are in storage. Last I looked, most of them aren't really worth anything haha. I think one that's worth the most is a 12" Medieval Spawn. I bought it for I think $25 and now it's worth $100? The Metal Gear Solid McFarlane figures I have might be worth a lot too I guess. All the rest are just relics of my childhood.

My screen name came from a McFarlane toy. Well, McFarlane figure based on a movie. For whatever reason it will forever be my screen name.

I actually went shopping at Tradesmart (Hastings)and Todd McFarlane was there signing stuff. Kinda weird. Shame they kinda sold out and only make boring Walking Dead stuff now.

I still have my Solid Snake and predator action figures facing off against the queen alien somewhere in my basement. Freddy and Jason and Spawn are on my upstairs bookshelf. They all need to be propped up because McFarlane toys can't stand for poo poo.

People here hating on Spawn is ridiculous you know you loving loved that movie when you saw it in the theaters, don't be all " Oh I always thought it was poo poo".

Nope, I hands on heart came out of the cinema thinking it was one of the poorest films I had seen in my life at that point. And time has not been any kinder to it. Like holy gently caress, just that opening setup bit alone was the closest I've come to walking out on a film, it was SO BAD. Fair play though, Leguizamo was delightful in it.

Have Wonder Woman pick up a newspaper with the headline "World War 1: Hundreds Killed in Four Year War" near the end so we know its just a light hearted but meaningful movie where the superheroes act like superheroes.

Where were the superheroes during the Rape of Nanking, the Holodomor, the Mau Mau uprising, the partition of India, the Balkan wars of the 1990s, and the Second Congo War? The Spear of Destiny certainly got around.

Scenes like these happen all the loving the time in comic books. They make for great splash pages. Remember this splash page from Green Lantern?

We know the power rings can hit a target many light years away (the Sinestro Corps has a guy that specializes in this). So why do they always fight in melee?

Also, this is a panel from an Avengers comic:

We see here fragile human(ish) characters like Iron First, Black Widow, and Hawkeye charging into close combat with superbeings like Thor and Ares and Sentry.

Because being a Lantern can get pretty lonely and melee-ing is one of the few chances anyone has to get into contact with others. It's a social event!

the scene itself isn't the problem, the real issue is who shows the actual run up? The clash is the important part, showing them actually running at each other looks silly.
